Great casual, with different designs, from the traditional thing, to the originality of the season, colors that rarely you find in any other shoe store. The quality is top, I still have got some shoes from my teen years. I find them still very useful, even if colorful.

The worst part: the prices. The shoes are very expensive. I always get them on sale, but even then they make a hole in my wallet. I try to save on clothes to spend here. Anyway, I think they sell the loveliest boots and shoes. Great way to look original (which is difficult when other shoe shop is selling the same designs).

London's very own alterative soul. The market is vibrant and home to great vintage clothing, street food and inevitable tourist tat. The market area is situated near the underground station and near the lock and is very easy to get to from surrounding areas such as harrow, Enfield and Finchley. Camden is also only 2 stops away from Leister square making it great for hanging out in before catching a film. The area is home to many an indie institution such koko and the electric ballroom and many bands. The area is well known by pick pockets so one should keep their wits about them.London's very own alterative soul.

Most instrument shops are a bit dull if you're not a musician, I'm sure. Once you've seen your 30th guitar your brain probably starts to grey out, let alone the annoying staff showing off how well they play.

Well, I challenge you to be bored in Ray Mans!

Formerly located in Parkway, now nearer to Chalk Farm, this long running family business is a treat to visit.

They sell a wide variety of instruments from four corners of the globe, with a main emphasis on Chinese and east asian traditional instruments.

Things range in price from the Â£1 or Â£2 pound bamboo flutes and jaw harps, to the Â£2000 odd sitars and wonderful hammered dulcimers in the back room.

They excel in percussion too, with many different types of shakers, rattles, small drums and finger cymbals too. The staff are very welcoming and they don't seem to mind if you have a little twang or rattle here or there.

I've always liked the Camden Lock Market, it's full of a whole bunch of differeny stuff, with new stuff showing up regularly.

I recently took a friend of mine who was visiting London from Germany to Camden and she had such fun running around this market. It is full of bracelets, rings, and other jewellery, all of which she loves.

Like I said, there's jewellery galore, but there's also a lot of very good art prints, generally of Camden itself, or celebrities from years gone by (think Freddie Mercury)

There's also a stall of zip bag thingies.. Not sure what they're called, but it's basically a bag made out of one really long zip. Quite cool really.

The downside of all this stuff is that it's all quite expensive. I suggest you try to haggle a bit for everything.

And there are lots of other stuff, so go see for yourself!I've always liked the Camden Lock Market, it's full of a whole bunch of differeny stuff, with new stuff showing up regularly.
